The answer -
Brahmanism is the religion of the Vedic period. Also known as Vedism or
Vedic Brahmanism is the historical predecessor of Hinduism.
Its liturgy is reflected in the Mantra portion of the four Vedas, which
are compiled in Sanskrit. The religious practices centered on a clergy
administering rites that often involved sacrifices. This mode of worship
is largely unchanged today within Hinduism; however, only a small
fraction of conservative Shrautins continue the tradition of oral
recitation of hymns learned solely through the oral tradition.
Elements of Vedic religion reach back into Proto-Indo-European times.
The Vedic period is held to have ended around 500 BC, Vedic religion
gradually metamorphosizing into the various schools of Hinduism, which
further evolved into Puranic Hinduism. Vedic religion also influenced
Buddhism and Jainism.
Vedic religion was gradually formalized
and concluded into Vedanta, which is the primary institution of
Hinduism. Vedanta considers itself the 'essence' of the Vedas. The Vedic
pantheon was interpreted by a unitary view of the universe with Brahman
seen as immanent and transcendent, since the Middle Upanishads also in
personal forms of the deity as Ishvara, Bhagavan, or Paramatma. There
are also conservative schools which continue portions of the historical
Vedic religion largely unchanged until today.
During the
formative centuries of Vedanta, traditions that opposed Vedanta and
which supported the same, emerged. These were the nastika and astika
respectively.
Hinduism is an umbrella term for astika traditions in India.
- Puranas, Sanskrit epics
- the classical schools of Hindu philosophy, of which only Vedanta is extant.
- Shaivism
- Vaishnavism
- Bhakti
- Shrauta traditions, maintaining much of the original form of the Vedic religion.
Vedic
Brahmanism of Iron Age India co-existed and closely interacted with the
non-Vedic (nastika) Shramana traditions. These were not direct
outgrowths of Vedism, but separate movements influenced by Brahmanical
traditions.
To "consume" means to use as in drink or eat, or to buy something.
Money in itself is not consumed: instead, it is used as a means of exchanged for a good which is consumed; therefore the correct answer is "False" - it is not true that consumers consume money.
We must first define Ethical and Moral Standards for Warfare.
For thousands of years, War was seen as a means to an end, the winner takes all, and a social consequence where the winner is allowed to loot and murder.
However, Abrahamic religions such as Islam, brought the concept of a proper code of conduct for Soldiers and rules on how to interact with an Army that had lost a war.
Today, in our modern world, the United Nations has its own charter and a governing body which oversees what it calls War Crimes and crimes against humanity.
The UN has a perfect set of charter and code of conduct which define the moral conduct that needs to be followed by soldiers nowadays.
However, after the United States use of torture in Iraq without any international pressure, it seems like not many nations are still willing to accept a globally codified war code of conduct.
